These are designed for use in numerous countries that use mains voltages
from 100 volts (Japan) to 120 volts (US). That fluorescent ballast is
presumably designed for 110-120 volt operation (but why mark it 117 volts
and not 115 volts is beyond me - but what's a couple of volts between
friends).

I suspect that the rvoltage range is 110V to 125V. If that is the
case, 117V would be around the mid-way point, allowing the spec to be
117V +/- 8V
